Summary
In Australia, climatic extremes and environmental pollution concerns
have limited the use of pigs and poultry in free-range systems. Nevertheless
there is a growing consumer demand for greener and chemical free pork and
free-range eggs.
This report examines pigs and poultry which were housed in eco shelters
and integrated into a pasture crop rotation system to establish if free-range
pig and poultry operations associated with organic grain production could
be used on a niche scale in the wheat belt of Australia
